History
In 1956, the university was established by the government decree, originally named Central School of Economics and Finance.[5]
In 1958, the school changed its name to University of Economics and Finance, under the supervision of Ministry of Education.[5]
In 1962, Prime Minister Phạm Văn Đồng signed a decree to separate the Faculty of International Relations from the University of Economics and Finance and establish a new university called University of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, under the supervision of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This later led to the foundation of two reputable institutions, Foreign Trade University, and Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam.[6]
In 1965, the name was changed to University of Economic Planning.[5]
In 1985, it was renamed National Economics University. It has kept this name since then.[5]
For more than 60 years, the university has received numerous prestigious awards from the Vietnamese and Lao governments.[5] More than 100,000 Bachelor's students, 10,000 Master's students, and 1,400 PhD students graduated from the university.[7]
